Duplex Printing using RAP

edited September 2003 in General
Hi

Delphi 6 Pro (SP2)
RB Enterprise 7.02
Windows 2000 Pro SP 2

Question 1:

I am using the DADE to create a Duplex report and I have followed the
example in the article: Printing a Disclaimer on the Back of Every Page, but
this assumes that you do not use the Summary Band for printing anything
other than the disclaimer. If I wish to use the Summary Band to print some
formatted data (i.e. Printing Invoices Totals on the Last Page Only) how do
I produce the final disclaimer page ? I have tried various methods,
including creating a Section sub-report in the Summary Band, but
unfortunately each time the report gets stuck in a loop producing 100's of
pages and never gets to the point where the report is complete. Any ideas ?

Question 2:

I would like to be able to using the 'PageSetDesc' system variable on the
report but due to producing 2 pages for each page when Duplexing obviously
the Total Page Count and Page No's are incorrect, is there anyway of
overcoming this ?


Cheers

Stuart

    Hi Stuart,

    Check out the RAP tutorials for a good example of how to put a disclaimer on
    the back of each page using the group header rather than the summary. This
    tutorial can be found in the \RBuilder\Demos\0. RAP\Tutorials\... directory.

    If you do not want to count the disclaimer in the total page count you will
    not be able to use a TppSystemVariable. Instead use a regular TppVariable
    and count only the odd pages as you go through the report.
